RE: shutdown abort to move data files

shutdown normal -- wait for all users to disconnect. Could be waiting a =
LONG time.
shutdown transactional -- wait for all open transactions to commit or =
rollback. Again, could wait a long time.
shutdown immediate -- kill all sessions, rollback any aborted =
transactions. Still could take a while, but generally faster than =
either of the first two.
shutdown abort -- go down right now. Not much different than killing a =
background process. Unlike last three, this will leave database in an =
inconsistent state. Next startup will need to do instance recovery.

I need to shutdown oracle8i database to move data file to another disk
but it takes about 40 minutes to shutdown immediate. Can I go ahead to
issue "shutdown abort" then move data file? Does it hurt anything?
